The role of the Independent Director has recently increased in importance and is now considered a profession in its own right.

Independence is key for effective corporate governance. Sound and efficiently functioning Boards are diversified, bringing together different components, skills and cultures. The Partners of The Directors’ Office would argue that every shareholder and promoter should welcome the appointment of Independent Directors to ensure a diverse Board with all the necessary areas of expertise. Partners of The Directors’ Office are also involved in nonprofit organisations.

Partners of The Directors’ Office, all of whom have the relevant industry experience, are available to join Boards of Funds, Management Companies or other companies such as SOPARFIs or other Special Purpose Vehicles in the role of Independent Director.
